Connection aggravation
Apr. 5th, 2005 12:07 amWe haven't been able to connect in a couple days because our Broadband has been down. Last night
sdavido called up Comcast in an effort to get it fixed, and after going in circles for 45 minutes was told there's an outage in our area. Lovely. I called up tonight to see when it might be fixed, and got a recording claiming we have a service appointment - which we did not schedule - on a day when we'll be out of town. So I passed the phone back to
sdavido, and after an hour of aggravation with several different Comcast workers giving conflicting information, they finally confirmed that there is still an outage. But they're going to send over a service guy in a couple days anyway in case our modem is the problem. (Believe me, the long version is much more confusing...)
In the meantime, frustrated at being unable to connect, I announced to
sdavido that I was going to regress and pulled my 100-foot phone cord out of the closet. (Always have one in case of emergencies!) He had to help me find the right port on the new computer, but it seems to be working quite happily. I don't know whether I'll have the time to catch up on everything b/c I'm hooked up through the phone line instead of our usual Broadband, but the sad thing is this is the fastest connection I've had in days...
